Guide shoes in elevators are the low-friction sliding parts of any elevator that allow the car to move freely. They work at keeping both the elevator car and the counterweight secure on their rails, by preventing swinging during movement.
Functionally, guide shoes prevent the car elevator from tilting within the shaft. They ensure everything moves smoothly. They also work at reducing friction by minimizing the resistance between either of the car or the counterweight and the rails.
